Lavi Byob - Ardmore

We inquired about a corkage fee for bringing our own beer, but they never brought the drinks we requested, so we ended up not having them. We ordered only main dishes, and it took 40 minutes for our food to arrive. We also had to ask multiple times for water. Additionally, we had a Groupon credit that they refused to accept. When the bill arrived, they charged us a $4.00 corkage fee, even though we didn't end up using it. We didn't notice the erroneous charge until we got home. Overall, we cannot recommend this restaurant; it has been open long enough to provide better service.

This restaurant offers you the full culinary experience in a very intimate environment. Chef Azziza is phenomenal what she does and takes great pride on her work, you can taste it! Must contain on the menu the truffle mac 'n cheese, braided short ribs, shrimps and geese, and roasted chicken! I definitely come back, again and again! The ambience is definitely date night ready, this place wins on all levels.

My date had the salmon and cleaned her plate. It's nice having a little gem in the neighborhood to get away from the headache of the city.
